Run command rewrites config.xml

[HarelM]

While other command are expected to alter config.xml, run is not a command I would expect to change it. When I edit config.xml to make the xml consistent or pretty I don't expect run to rewrite it.

I could not reproduce that behavior with Cordova 9 using the following commands:

cordova create test-app && cd test-app
cordova platform add browser
# edit config.xml here
cordova platform run browser

My changes to the default config.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
-<widget id="io.cordova.hellocordova" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
+<widget id="io.cordova.hellocordova"
+        version="1.0.0"
+        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
+        xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
+
    <name>HelloCordova</name>

Please provide detailed instructions on how to reproduce the behavior you observed.

I'll upgrade to 9.0 and report back here.

Sorry, I can't test 9.0 as I can't use it with windows 10 apparently due to this issue I think: https://github.com/apache/cordova-common/issues/64 In any case my test case for 8.1.2 was to change the quotes from ' to " and run. i.e.:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

would turn into:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
